A Canon 7D with lens may be too light for a Flyer LE arm to drop comfortably without additional weight
Adding extra weights to the stabilizer sled and opening the arms wider can help balance a 7D on a Flyer LE
Weighted plates mounted between the camera and its mount can increase effective camera mass on the rig
Video output capabilities of the 7D were discussed in separate forum threads

The poster had no modifications to their Flyer LE at the time
Specific details about the weights used, arm opening amounts, and weighted plate configurations were not provided
The exact lens used with the 7D was not specified
Experience reported was with a Flyer LE, which may differ from other steadicam models
Previous successful 7D deployment was on a Pilot model, not a Flyer LE
